TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of PVC pipe fitting injection molding, more particularly, the present application relates to a PVC pipe fitting injection molding quality optimization method and system based on a neural network. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing PVC pipe fitting injection molding technology generally includes the following steps: melting PVC particles by a screw injection molding machine, heating and plasticizing, injection molding, pressure maintaining and cooling demolding, etc. During the injection molding process, the control of parameters such as injection pressure, screw speed and cavity pressure is crucial to the molding quality of the pipe fitting. In the traditional process, the operator usually sets the injection speed curve, the pressure maintaining pressure and the V / P switching point based on experience to ensure that the melt can smoothly fill the cavity and to minimize internal defects. In order to cope with PVC pipe fittings of different specifications and wall thicknesses, some high-end injection molding equipment has begun to collect real-time data such as barrel pressure, screw displacement and cavity pressure in order to monitor the process and adjust the parameters, but the overall control strategy is still mainly based on experience.
[0003] Since the traditional V / P switching point and speed curve setting highly depend on experience, they lack real-time response capability to the dynamic characteristics of the PVC pipe fitting melt filling. In actual production, this static setting can easily lead to uneven flow of local melt in the cavity, thereby causing defects such as bubbles, short shots or weld marks. A dynamic switching algorithm based on filling process curves has emerged, which collects pressure, flow and screw displacement data in real time, analyzes the filling process characteristics, and dynamically adjusts the switching time of injection and pressure maintaining in order to reduce the deviation caused by human experience and molding defects.
[0004] However, due to the large volume and slow cooling speed of the PVC pipe fitting, the actual shrinkage rate during the pressure maintaining stage often deviates from the prediction of the static model. This deviation can cause the dynamic switching algorithm based on the filling process curve to distort the model in actual application, the control action is not precise enough, and thus can affect the consistency of pipe fitting molding and the internal quality distribution. In view of the above problems, the present application provides a solution. SUMMARY

[0018] Figure 1 The present application is a flowchart of a PVC pipe fitting injection molding quality optimization method based on a neural network.
[0019] Figure 2 The present application is a structural diagram of a PVC pipe fitting injection molding quality optimization system based on a neural network. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0021] Embodiment 1, Figure 1 A PVC pipe fitting injection molding quality optimization method based on a neural network is provided, comprising the following steps: S1, obtain melt pressure data and screw displacement data in the barrel of an injection molding machine, and construct a filling process curve.
[0022] In this embodiment, melt pressure data and screw displacement data in the barrel of an injection molding machine are obtained to construct a filling process curve, specifically: The screw displacement data includes screw position, screw diameter, screw cross-sectional area and screw instantaneous speed. The melt pressure data in the injection molding machine barrel includes filling efficiency, volume flow rate, cumulative injection volume, filling percentage, and injection side melt.
[0023] Obtain melt pressure data and screw displacement data in the injection molding machine barrel, and perform time alignment and filtering denoising; Estimate the pressure drop caused by the flow channel based on the power-law fluid empirical pressure drop formula under the condition of no cavity pressure, and estimate the difference between the injection side melt pressure as the cavity pressure in the cavity; Calculate the volume flow rate based on the screw displacement, and construct the volume flow rate curve varying with time; Integrate the volume flow rate curve with respect to time to obtain the cumulative injection volume; Construct the cumulative injection volume curve, the filling percentage curve, the injection end pressure curve, and the cavity pressure curve varying with time, and construct a four-dimensional curve family as the filling process curve.
[0024] It should be noted that the following is a feasible calculation example of the pressure drop caused by the flow channel: ; In the formula, is the pressure drop caused by the flow channel, is the flow channel constant, is the volume flow rate, is the power-law index; It should be noted that the flow channel constant is related to the flow channel length, radius, and material viscosity base, and is determined by a small amount of trial molding and regression. The power-law index is the degree of shear thinning of the material, which is less than 1 for shear thinning, and the typical default value of PVC is in the range of 0.2-1.0, which is obtained by rheological test or trial simulation.
[0025] It should be noted that the following is a feasible calculation example of the volume flow rate: ; In the formula, is the filling efficiency, is the screw cross-sectional area, is the screw speed; It should be noted that the filling efficiency is the ratio of the actual injection amount to the theoretical injection amount.
[0026] The following is a feasible calculation example of the cumulative injection volume: ; In the formula, is the cumulative injection volume, is the injection start time.
[0027] It should be noted that the four-dimensional curve family is that on the time axis t, the four curves share the same horizontal axis, forming a multi-dimensional time sequence curve cluster; the injection side melt pressure is directly obtained by the sensor, and the filling percentage is the ratio of the filling amount to the total capacity.
[0028] It should be noted that the cumulative injection volume, the filling percentage, the injection end pressure and the estimated cavity pressure are placed on the same time axis to form a multi-dimensional curve family, and the change relationship of each curve can be analyzed separately or jointly.
[0029] It should be noted that the original signal collected is filtered and denoised to remove high-frequency noise while retaining the true change trend of pressure and displacement during filling, avoiding fluctuations or misjudgments in subsequent calculations.
[0030] It should be noted that the filling efficiency is calibrated, a correction coefficient is obtained by comparing the actual part volume with the theoretically calculated volume, and is used to correct the injection volume calculated by the screw displacement, so that the volume calculation is closer to the actual injection amount.
[0031] It should be noted that the volume flow rate curve is calculated based on the corrected screw displacement and speed, which reflects the speed and stability of the melt flow in the mold cavity and is an important basis for analyzing the changes in the filling stage.
[0032] It should be noted that in the case of no cavity pressure sensor, the cavity pressure is estimated by an empirical model, the injection end pressure is subtracted from the flow channel pressure drop to obtain an approximate cavity pressure, which is used to monitor the pressure change trend at the end of filling.
[0033] The embodiment accurately acquires screw displacement and barrel pressure data and constructs multi-dimensional filling process curves, so that the short shot, bubbles and weld marks in the filling stage of PVC pipe fittings during injection molding can be identified and quantified in a timely manner, and accurate basic data is provided for the generation of subsequent dynamic switching criteria and pressure holding shrinkage compensation, thereby effectively solving the problems of model distortion and inaccurate control caused by large PVC pipe volume and slow cooling, improving injection molding quality and optimizing energy consumption.
[0034] S2, variable point detection analysis is performed according to the filling process curve to generate a first dynamic switching criterion.
[0035] In the embodiment, variable point detection analysis is performed according to the filling process curve to generate a first dynamic switching criterion, specifically: The filling process curve is characterized to obtain the filling process curve characteristics; The filling process curve characteristics are subjected to variable point detection based on residual and feature sequence to obtain criterion evidence; The criterion evidence includes pressure rise rate residual accumulation and pressure rise evidence, flow evidence based on screw speed inflection point, and cavity pressure prediction proximity evidence predicted by short-time cavity pressure. mapping the criterion evidence into a 0-1 confidence score; The criterion evidence mapping includes linear mapping of pressure rise evidence, proportional mapping of flow rate evidence according to a preset scaling coefficient, directly assigning the criterion evidence confidence as 1 when the screw speed inflection point feature meets a set condition, calculating the closeness according to the difference between the short-time predicted cavity pressure and the real-time measured cavity pressure, and inputting the closeness as the confidence; The criterion value is obtained by weighting the confidence score of the criterion evidence, and a judgment logic is set to obtain the first dynamic switching criterion.
[0036] It should be noted that the following is an example of calculating the cumulative sum of the pressure rise rate residual: ; is the cumulative sum, is the residual of the pressure rise rate, is the allowable deviation constant.
[0037] It should be noted that if is greater than a preset first threshold value, a pressure rise mutation is detected (indicating that the front is blocked or in contact), and the cumulative sum of this evidence is particularly sensitive to small but continuous deviations.
[0038] Linear mapping of pressure rise evidence is specifically mapping the ratio of cumulative sum to trigger threshold value to between 0 and 1.
[0039] It should be noted that the flow rate evidence based on the screw speed inflection point is a sudden drop in flow rate when the screw speed rapidly decreases from a high value and the acceleration is greater than an acceleration threshold value. The following is a condition expression of the feasible candidate sequence number of the flow rate evidence: ; In the formula, is the instantaneous speed of the screw at time t, is the speed decay ratio threshold value, is the maximum instantaneous speed recorded in the current injection cycle, is the screw acceleration, is the acceleration threshold value.
[0040] It should be noted that the mapping of the flow rate evidence is as follows: ; In the formula and are scaling coefficients (used to map the magnitude to a probability perception value), is the mapping value of the flow rate evidence, and if the candidate sequence number strictly meets it, the mapping value is directly 1.
[0041] It should be noted that the short-time cavity pressure prediction cavity pressure prediction proximity evidence is specifically: The ratio of the short-term predicted value based on the polynomial fitting of the cavity pressure based on the recent window to the holding target is used as the cavity pressure prediction proximity evidence.
[0042] It should be noted that the setting judgment logic is specifically: When the criterion value is greater than or equal to the preset upper trigger threshold and continuously satisfies the preset first multiple of sampling points, the injection is switched to holding; When the criterion value is less than or equal to the preset lower threshold and continuously satisfies the preset second multiple of sampling points, it is rolled back; Additionally, when the maximum injection time or maximum displacement reaches the mechanical limit, it is forced to switch.
[0043] It should be noted that the upper trigger threshold is 0.85 by default, the lower threshold is 0.6 by default, the first multiple and the second multiple are 3 by default, and the above can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0044] It should be noted that the filling process curve feature extraction refers to extracting the change trend and mutation point of the key physical quantity from the four-dimensional curve family, including the pressure change rate, screw displacement speed, injection end pressure and cavity pressure derivative information with respect to time, which is used for subsequent variable point detection criterion calculation; It should be noted that the residual sequence is calculated by the difference between the actual observation value and the predicted value based on the historical injection cycle or the empirical model, which is used to quantify the abnormal deviation phenomenon in the filling process, and can sensitively reflect the situation of PVC melt flow obstruction or retention in large pipes; It should be noted that the pressure rise rate residual accumulation is used to enhance the detection ability of continuous small deviations, which amplifies the small but continuous abnormal trend by accumulating the residual change in a short time, so as to identify the flow front approaching the cavity or the front obstruction in advance; It should be noted that the flow evidence based on the inflection point of the screw speed captures the characteristics of the flow rate drop at the end of the PVC melt filling period by analyzing the inflection point of the instantaneous screw speed and the acceleration threshold condition, which is particularly important in large pipes because the large volume and slow cooling will cause the flow front peak to decay significantly; It should be noted that the short-time cavity pressure prediction proximity evidence is calculated by polynomial fitting and short-term extrapolation prediction of recent cavity pressure data, and the ratio of the predicted value to the holding target is used to quantify the degree of current pressure approaching the target holding state, which is used to determine whether to trigger the holding switch; It should be noted that the criterion evidence mapping is to normalize different physical quantities to the 0-1 interval, so as to unify the weighted calculation of the criterion value, and the selection of linear mapping and scaling coefficient can be customized according to the PVC melt characteristics and pipe volume, to ensure the physical interpretability of the confidence score; It should be noted that the confidence weighting is a step of combining each criterion evidence into a final criterion value according to a preset weight, and the weight can be optimized empirically or data-driven according to the sensitivity of different sizes and cooling conditions of the PVC pipe fitting, to ensure that the criterion value is stable and reliable in response to the switching point; It should be noted that the criterion value judgment logic realizes automatic control of the switching from injection to pressure holding by setting the upper trigger threshold and the lower withdrawal threshold, and the number of consecutive sampling points, in combination with the mechanical limit constraint of the maximum injection time or displacement, to ensure that the PVC pipe fitting can still obtain stable filling and shrinkage compensation under the condition of large volume and slow cooling; It should be noted that the setting of the upper trigger threshold and the lower withdrawal threshold is based on the experimental analysis results of the flow characteristics of PVC melt and the cooling rate, and the threshold selection directly affects the timeliness and accuracy of the pressure holding switching, so it needs to be customized and adjusted under different pipe diameters or wall thicknesses; It should be noted that the continuous sampling point multiple parameter is used to reduce the influence of incidental noise on the switching criterion, and the switching is triggered only by continuously meeting the threshold condition, which improves the robustness of filling abnormalities of large PVC pipe fittings and avoids false switching caused by temporary fluctuations; It should be noted that the residual and feature sequence change point detection method is based on statistical process control and sliding window analysis, which monitors the short-term trend of the pressure rise rate, flow rate and cavity pressure prediction, generates an operable dynamic switching criterion, and realizes fine control in combination with the characteristics of the PVC pipe fitting.
[0045] In this embodiment, the filling process curve is extracted and the change point is detected to generate a dynamic switching criterion, so that the injection molding machine can identify the possible flow front obstruction or front edge in place state of the PVC pipe fitting at the end of the filling period in real time, and ensure the timing accuracy of the switching from injection to pressure holding. This process effectively solves the problem of inaccurate flow front prediction caused by large volume and slow cooling of large PVC pipe fittings in main line 1, and provides a correctable criterion basis for main line 2, so that the subsequent pressure holding pressure adjustment and shrinkage compensation are more reliable, thereby improving the size accuracy and inner and outer surface quality of the molded pipe fitting.
[0046] S3, adjusting the switching point of injection and pressure holding according to the dynamic switching criterion, and switching injection to pressure holding.
[0047] In this embodiment, the switching point of injection and pressure holding is adjusted according to the dynamic switching criterion, and the injection is switched to pressure holding, specifically: Obtain the criterion value at the current time, and compare the criterion value with the set upper trigger threshold and lower withdrawal threshold; When the criterion value is greater than or equal to the preset upper trigger threshold and continuously meets the preset first multiple of sampling points, a switching trigger signal is generated; When the criterion value is less than or equal to the preset lower threshold value and the preset second multiple of sampling points are continuously met, back off, and generate a withdrawal switching signal; If the trigger switching signal is valid, immediately generate a control instruction for injection to pressure holding; If the withdrawal switching signal is valid, cancel the previous switching intention and continue to maintain the injection mode; Send the control instruction to the injection molding machine servo drive unit, adjust the execution state of the hydraulic and electric drive modules, end the injection phase and enter the pressure holding phase; When the maximum injection time or maximum displacement reaches the mechanical limit, trigger the forced switching protection.
[0048] It should be noted that the criterion value is a comprehensive confidence score calculated based on the filling process curve feature extraction and variable point detection, which is used to quantify the change degree of the cavity flow state and pressure rise trend, as the decision basis for injection and pressure holding switching; It should be noted that the upper trigger threshold and the lower withdrawal threshold are used to determine the critical point of switching and back off, respectively. The upper trigger threshold indicates that the cavity has been basically filled and needs to enter the pressure holding phase, and the lower withdrawal threshold is used to avoid early switching to ensure the stability of the filling process and the heat sensitivity compensation of PVC materials; It should be noted that the judgment logic of continuously meeting multiple sampling points is used to filter out the influence of transient disturbance and noise, to ensure the reliability of the switching signal, so that the injection and pressure holding switching responds to the real flow change rather than short-term fluctuations; It should be noted that after the trigger switching signal is generated, the control instruction is sent to the injection molding machine servo drive unit and the hydraulic and electric modules, and by adjusting the screw movement speed and the pressure holding hydraulic pressure, a smooth transition from injection to pressure holding is realized, avoiding short shots, bubbles or weld marks in PVC pipes; It should be noted that the withdrawal switching signal is used to cancel the switching intention when the cavity flow does not reach a stable state, delaying the entry into the pressure holding phase, to prevent the early application of pressure holding from causing uneven PVC shrinkage or surface defects; It should be noted that the mechanical limit protection triggered by the maximum injection time or displacement is used to prevent equipment overload or pipe overfilling, to ensure safety and equipment reliability, while taking into account the cooling characteristics and processing tolerance of PVC large volume pipes.
[0049] The embodiment realizes smooth transition of injection end and pressure maintaining start in the PVC pipe fitting injection molding process by accurately controlling the switching timing of injection and pressure maintaining based on dynamic switching criteria, effectively avoiding defects such as insufficient cavity filling, melt retraction or weld mark caused by switching too early or too late. At the same time, the method ensures the consistency of filling curve characteristics and criterion logic, so that the filling process curve prediction of main line one and the pressure maintaining pressure adjustment strategy can be accurately applied, significantly improving the size stability and surface quality of PVC pipe fittings, while taking into account the dynamic response and material thermal sensitivity compensation problems of the injection molding process.
[0050] S4, adjusting the pressure maintaining pressure according to the pressure maintaining shrinkage rate predicted from the filling process curve.
[0051] In the embodiment, the pressure maintaining pressure is adjusted according to the pressure maintaining shrinkage rate predicted from the filling process curve, specifically: A first real-time quantity is obtained from the filling process curve, the first real-time quantity including volume flow rate, filling percentage and pressure maintaining integral quantity; An initial shrinkage prediction model is established based on a static linear regression model, and after the real shrinkage is obtained in each cycle, the recursive least squares is used for updating to obtain a shrinkage prediction model, and the predicted first shrinkage quantity is output; If the pressure maintaining phase has not been completed, it is assumed that the injection flow rate in the pressure maintaining phase decays exponentially, the remaining pressure maintaining integral quantity is predicted based on exponential decay extrapolation, and the real-time pressure maintaining integral quantity is added to obtain the completed pressure maintaining integral quantity; The completed pressure maintaining integral quantity is used to update the shrinkage prediction model, and the predicted second shrinkage quantity is output, and the difference between the target shrinkage quantity and the predicted second shrinkage quantity is calculated as a shrinkage deviation; The shrinkage deviation is mapped based on linear proportion to a pressure maintaining pressure adjustment value to generate a segmented pressure maintaining curve; The segmented pressure maintaining curve is sent to the injection molding machine controller and executed.
[0052] It should be noted that the pressure maintaining integral quantity is the accumulation result of the injection pressure and the injection flow rate in time after the start of the pressure maintaining phase, which is used to express the total volume effect of the melt being compressed into the cavity under the action of the pressure maintaining pressure, and is a cumulative quantity of the multiplication of pressure, flow rate and time. The following is an example of a feasible calculation: ; In the formula, is the pressure maintaining integral quantity, is the injection pressure at the sampling point k, is the sampling time interval, is the time when the injection is switched to pressure maintaining.
[0053] It should be noted that the following is an example of the model form of the initial shrinkage prediction model established based on the static linear regression model: ; for, is a regression constant term, determined by offline least square method; 、 、 are all influence coefficients, is a holding integral quantity, is a mold temperature, is a cavity volume, is a residual term.
[0054] It should be noted that the shrinkage deviation is mapped based on a linear scale to a holding pressure adjustment value to generate a segmented holding pressure curve, specifically: The shrinkage change caused by a small change in holding pressure is determined by experiment to obtain a shrinkage scale coefficient, which is multiplied by the shrinkage deviation to obtain a recommended holding pressure adjustment amount, a positive value indicating an increase in pressure and a negative value indicating a decrease in pressure.
[0055] The recommended holding pressure adjustment amount is constrained based on a safety limit and a rate limit, including a single adjustment upper limit constraint, an absolute limit, and a pressure change rate limit.
[0056] The holding pressure curve is segmented based on a shape function, which includes a constant and a front-loaded type. The constant type is to add the same pressure to the entire holding segment, and the front-loaded type is to provide more pressure in the early stage and to weaken in the later stage.
[0057] It should be noted that the volumetric flow rate represents the total volume change rate of the melt injected into the cavity per unit time, which is a basic parameter for evaluating filling dynamics and predicting holding shrinkage, and is calculated by screw displacement and screw cross-sectional area.
[0058] It should be noted that the filling percentage is the ratio of the current injected melt volume to the total volume of the cavity, which can directly reflect the degree of cavity filling and is a key reference index for holding shrinkage prediction and holding pressure adjustment.
[0059] It should be noted that the holding integral quantity is the product of the injection pressure and the injection flow rate accumulated with time in the holding stage, which is used to quantify the total volume effect of the melt under the action of holding, and can uniformly express the effects of pressure, flow rate and time, providing a quantitative basis for shrinkage prediction.
[0060] It should be noted that the static linear regression model establishes an initial shrinkage prediction model, which determines the coefficients of each influencing factor, including the holding integral quantity, the mold temperature and the cavity volume, etc., through historical mold testing data, which can quickly estimate the shrinkage trend in the holding stage and provide initial values for subsequent recursive correction.
[0061] It should be noted that the recursive least square update method is used to dynamically correct the model parameters by using the error between the actual shrinkage and the predicted shrinkage after each injection cycle, to realize adaptive prediction of the PVC pipe fitting pressure retention shrinkage, and to improve the prediction accuracy.
[0062] It should be noted that the exponential decay assumption is used to extrapolate the remaining injection flow during the pressure retention stage, which is based on the characteristics of the gradually increasing flow resistance and the gradually decreasing flow rate of the PVC melt during the pressure retention stage. The remaining integral quantity is included in the shrinkage prediction, so that the pressure retention pressure adjustment is more in line with the actual melt behavior.
[0063] It should be noted that the linear proportional mapping is used to convert the shrinkage deviation into the pressure retention pressure adjustment value, and the sensitivity coefficient of shrinkage and pressure retention pressure change is determined by experiment, so that the prediction deviation can be reasonably converted into pressure increase or decrease, and the adjustment amount is controllable and effective.
[0064] It should be noted that the safety limiting and rate limiting are used to constrain the pressure retention pressure adjustment, so as to avoid overpressure of the cavity, melt backflow or pipe fitting warping caused by excessive adjustment amplitude or speed, and to ensure the safety of PVC pipe fitting injection and the quality of finished products.
[0065] It should be noted that the segmented pressure retention curve is designed by using a shape function, and the constant type keeps the same pressure throughout the pressure retention stage, and the front-loaded type has high pressure in the early stage and decreases in the later stage, so that local filling optimization and shrinkage compensation can be realized according to the differences in wall thickness and pipe diameter of PVC pipe fittings.
[0066] In this embodiment, the melt shrinkage and cavity pressure deficiency in PVC pipe fitting injection are actively compensated by predicting and dynamically adjusting the pressure retention pressure based on the filling process curve, which effectively reduces the phenomena of pipe fitting port collapse, uneven wall thickness and warping, and cooperates with the dynamic switching criterion to ensure accurate switching between injection and pressure retention, thereby comprehensively solving the technical problems of insufficient shrinkage compensation accuracy in the filling and pressure retention stages in main line 1 and the adaptability of threshold and switching time in main line 2, and improving the yield and dimensional stability of pipe fittings.
[0067] S5, according to the adjusted pressure retention pressure, injection filling and shrinkage compensation are carried out.
[0068] In this embodiment, according to the adjusted pressure retention pressure, injection filling and shrinkage compensation are carried out, specifically: The segmented pressure retention curve is subjected to exponential smoothing, and the pressure retention pressure adjustment amount is obtained in real time; The controller pressure retention pressure adjustment amount is converted into a target valve opening degree recognizable by the injection molding machine, and is sent to the hydraulic controller through the real-time bus; The controller reads the actual pressure and flow of the valve at each sampling period to monitor the tracking error, which is used for feedback and updating of the related prediction model.
[0069] S6, the variable point detection analysis further comprises an optional introduction of a neural network auxiliary regressor to correct the criterion threshold, to generate a second dynamic switching criterion.
[0070] In this embodiment, S6, the variable point detection analysis further comprises an optional introduction of a neural network auxiliary regressor to correct the criterion threshold, to generate a second dynamic switching criterion, specifically: Obtain the noise characteristics of the PVC pipe fitting, the noise characteristics including melt temperature fluctuation amplitude, pipe fitting wall thickness ratio, and filling non-linear residual error; Construct a residual error constraint neural network according to the noise characteristics, and output a corrected criterion threshold; Replace the threshold value in the original set judgment logic with the corrected criterion threshold value to obtain a second dynamic switching criterion.
[0071] The output corrected criterion threshold further includes quality and energy good impact prediction for the corrected criterion threshold, for determining whether to correct or return.
[0072] It should be noted that the melt temperature fluctuation amplitude is used to reflect that PVC is easily affected by temperature fluctuations, the higher the temperature, the stronger the fluidity, and the switching point is usually advanced.
[0073] It should be noted that different wall thicknesses result in different cooling rates, and the criterion needs to be delayed to trigger, so the pipe fitting wall thickness ratio is used as a training feature; It should be noted that the filling non-linear residual error is obtained by the difference between the injection volume curve and the linear extrapolation model, and is used to describe the hysteresis effect of the PVC flow stage.
[0074] In this embodiment, the quality and energy good impact prediction is performed on the corrected criterion threshold, for determining whether to correct or return, specifically: The pre- and post-pressure holding integral and the shrinkage are predicted; The absolute difference between the predicted shrinkage and the target shrinkage is calculated as a quality index; The pressure holding energy consumption difference caused by the change of the trigger point is estimated based on the approximate proxy method; A cost function is constructed based on the quality index and the pressure holding energy consumption difference as a decision score; Whether to correct or return is determined according to the decision score.
[0075] It should be noted that the following is a calculation example of the feasible decision score: ; In the formula, is the decision score, is the quality index, is the energy consumption weight, is the estimated energy consumption difference, This represents the average energy consumption over one cycle.
[0076] It should be noted that the melt temperature fluctuation amplitude is obtained by placing temperature sensors at different positions in the injection molding machine barrel and cavity, which can accurately reflect the changes in the local flow characteristics of PVC melt and provide a basis for the advance or delay of the judgment threshold. It should be noted that the pipe wall thickness ratio is calculated using mold design parameters and real-time measurement data. It reflects the difference in cooling rate in different areas of the pipe and can be used to correct the switching criteria to avoid uneven wall thickness or collapse caused by switching too early or too late. It should be noted that the nonlinear residual is obtained by calculating the difference between the actual cumulative injection volume curve and the theoretical linear extrapolation model. It can characterize the hysteresis effect and viscoelastic properties of PVC melt in the flow stage, and provide the neural network with nonlinear feature inputs unique to PVC material. It should be noted that during training, the residual constraint neural network combines the above-mentioned PVC features and fits the optimal criterion threshold under different conditions through supervised learning. The corrected threshold is then output for dynamic switching, ensuring that the network prediction results take into account both material properties and filling conditions. It should be noted that the prediction of the impact of quality and energy consumption is achieved by simulating the changes in the pressure holding integral and shrinkage amount triggered by different criterion thresholds. This quantifies the comprehensive impact of criterion adjustments on the quality and energy consumption of the finished product, thereby providing a feasibility assessment and avoiding adverse consequences caused by neural network correction. It should be noted that the judgment score combines the quality index and energy consumption difference, and obtains a comprehensive score through a weighted function. This score is used to determine whether to use the threshold after neural network correction, ensuring that the adjustment can improve the molding accuracy of PVC pipe fittings without significantly increasing energy consumption. It should be noted that the holding pressure integral and shrinkage amount before and after are used to quantify the impact of the change in the criterion threshold on the melt compression effect during the holding pressure stage, and are the basic data for quality assessment and energy consumption calculation. It should be noted that the approximate surrogate method is used to quickly estimate the impact of trigger point changes on pressure holding energy consumption. By reducing the number of repeated simulations, the efficiency of judgment is improved, while maintaining the evaluation accuracy that is sensitive to the injection molding characteristics of PVC pipe fittings.
[0077] This embodiment introduces a residual constraint neural network based on the unique characteristics of PVC pipe fittings to intelligently correct the threshold of the first dynamic switching criterion. It not only considers melt temperature fluctuations, pipe wall thickness differences, and nonlinear hysteresis effects of filling, but also evaluates whether to use a corrected threshold through quality and energy consumption prediction. This effectively compensates for the distortion of the criterion model caused by the susceptibility of PVC material to temperature and flow characteristics in the first main line, achieving more precise control of the injection-holding pressure switching point, improving the consistency and quality of pipe fitting molding, and avoiding increased energy consumption caused by blind adjustments.
